5 months old...

I can't believe my little guy will be 5 months old tomorrow. He is growing so strong, so quickly. We have been very busy the past month or so...he has continued to have issues with

his stomach bleeding and we know have a GI consult at the beginning of August. He seems to be maintaining his place on the growth curve, so I am not overly concerned at this point. I am being very adventurous by trying goat cheeses, and I am even considering buffalo mozzarella. The biggest problem is how expensive these "alternatives" to cow's milk protein are.

The past two weeks Warren has had a spell of getting up every 1-3hours during the night (and considering that we had 2.5 blissful months of sleeping through the night). However, last night he slept through the night again, and I am hopeful for tonight. I think he is either having some teething pain, or his little brain couldn't let him sleep it was developing so fast. He has started really trying to crawl the past week or two and tonight he managed to move just a little bit on the hardwood floor. Our floors make it very tricky for him because they are so slick, so he needs a foot or something to push off of, but he can move.


We have had lots of adventures in the past month. We have gone to the lake, the nature center, and today we went the farmer's market.

At the lake-I always have more fun than he does!

The logistics of both of us being in very deep lake water, and remaining safe, is a little tricky. Again, I think I had more fun with this than he did. I am looking forward to trying his float out in the pool at the beach in a few weeks!

Burke (see Kim I am trying to use his nickname) and Warren had a blast at the Farmer's Market today. It is so nice for Warren to already have a little buddy.

Contemplating crawling or whatever means necessary to get the ball...
